On the other hand, as you point out, being a LT on the SB champions could easily entice someone to overpay.

Let me present exhibit A: Larry Brown. there are ALOT of stupid teams out there. the list is ever so shrinking, but there are still desperate teams out there

In all the pre-XLIII stuff, didn't I read that the year we drafted Troy, we had been pursuing Dexter Jackson? And that he coincidentally hopped a jet to Zona to sign for more money?

Yeah, that worked out.

I remember that. We thought we had Jackson signed, and he got the bigger offer at the last second. If we had gotten him, we supposedly would have drafted Larry Johnson. That might not have turned out all bad either.

Tend to worry that this might be how it will go down. Some team will see Nate's big play ability (and fail to notice his large list of drops), and overpay.

Wonder if maybe we can pick up some servicable veteran for a little less. Anyone think that ARE will be available? It is possible that the Skins will cut him?
